I have a hard disk that's sole purpose is backup. Soon after day's first boot a new backup is made and then the backup filesystem is unmounted and the disk can go to sleep (hdparm -S 240). The backup filesystem is on an encrypted (LUKS) partition which is automatically opened using /etc/crypttab settings.
All this works nicely but a little before the system is shut down the backup hard disk wakes up and starts spinning. I'd guess the cause is one of these init scripts: /etc/rc0.d: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2012-06-25 21:02 K10cryptdisks -> ../init.d/cryptdisks lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2012-06-25 21:02 K11lvm2 -> ../init.d/lvm2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2012-06-25 21:02 K12cryptdisks-early -> ../init.d/cryptdisks-early How can I stop this unnecessary spinning and keep the disk sleeping when shutting down the system? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
